PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Either way, he was a good guy for both teams and for MLB overall. Let's hope he pulls through this ordeal and gets to enjoy a few more happy years - and while we're at it, how about making sure that Carter lives to see his number finally retired, Mets? The Expos already did that in Montreal.

That's the latest on Gary Carter, and the worst bit is that doctors are considering no further treatment for him.

From Carter himself:"I'm not feeling too good," he told New York Daily News a few weeks ago. "It's been coming on and coming on. I've had a chest cold. I've got sores in my mouth, blood clots. I get sick ... there's just so many things ... It's been nine months now and I don't feel any different from Day One. I haven't been up to doing any interviews."

You were a great guy to watch and a great guy to have up here off the field.

ETA: I just saw a pic of Carter from two weeks ago when he attended the opener at Palm Beach Atlantic University (where he coached) and he was unrecognizable. I mean, really unrecognizable. Cancer wasn't kind to him.

In the late 70s, les Canadiens de Montréal were unbeatable and had Guy Lafleur, one of its biggest star ever. The Alouettes under Marv Levy had won 3 grey Cups and played in 3 more. Gilles Villeneuve was amazing at the wheel of a Formula 1. The 1976 Olympics had made us discover many new sports and given us new idols. Yet, Gary Carter was as big a star as anyone here.

If all the athlete were as nice as Carter then we could begin to talk about role model.
